Shaymin (Sheimi in original Japanese language versions) is a hedgehog-like Legendary Pokémon that premieres in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Its body-fur is pure white and, instead of quills, a shaymin has green grass growing on its back along with pink flowers growing on the sides of its head, giving it an even more flower-like appearance. Shaymin resides in the Flower Paradise, a flower-filled field untouched by humans. In order to go unnoticed by intruders or attackers, it utilizes its own form of camouflage; rolling up into a ball resembling a flower in a patch of grass. By doing so, it blends in with the surrounding flowers, going undetected even if the attacker is beside it. It also has the power to decompose the toxins in the air and turn the land into flower fields in an instant. It is rumoured to have turned the desolate area of Floaroma Town into a fertile field. Its unique move, Seed Flare, is a powerful Grass-type move that has a chance of lowering the opponent's Special Defense.
He uses poop to attack too.
